Renault car rental in Barcelona

A week of Costa Brava beaches and Barcelona city days starts with the right car — and on this page we have 5 Renault models ready to book, from €25 per day. Rent-Trip delivers the car to you in Barcelona, and the booking is agreed with a manager.

Which Renault models you can hire in Barcelona

Our Renault car rental in Barcelona is built around five models: Clio, 5 E-Tech, Captur, Espace and Trafic. They cover five classes, from a city hatchback at €25 a day to a nine-seat van at €90, and every booking is agreed with a manager.

The five Renault models in our fleet

Renault Clio and Captur for city driving

The Clio is a five-seat Economy hatchback at €25 a day with a 1.0 L 90 hp Petrol/Hybrid engine and a manual gearbox; the Captur is a five-seat Crossover at €43 a day on the same 1.0 L 90 hp engine and the same manual transmission. Both come with a manual gearbox only — if you need an automatic, look at the 5 E-Tech or the Espace instead.

Renault 5 E-Tech, Espace and Trafic for longer trips

The 5 E-Tech is a five-seat Electric hatchback at €38 a day with 120 hp and an automatic gearbox; the Espace is a seven-seat Hybrid MPV at €72 with a 1.2 L 200 hp engine and an automatic; the Trafic is a nine-seat Diesel van at €90 with a 2.0 L 150 hp engine and a manual. The Espace is the only automatic above the 5 E-Tech, and the Trafic is the only nine-seater on this page. The Espace takes seven with a hybrid automatic, and the Trafic takes nine with a diesel manual, so the choice between them comes down to seats and gearbox rather than to anything else. If your trip lands in a busy window, match the model to the trip rather than to the price — the cheapest car is not always the right one for a week with luggage.

What Renault car rental in Barcelona costs

Renault car rental in Barcelona with Rent-Trip runs from €25 a day for the Clio to €90 a day for the Trafic. Longer hires follow two fixed multipliers: a week is the daily rate × 6, a month is the daily rate × 21. Nothing on this page replaces the rental agreement.

Daily, weekly and monthly rates by model

On the Espace, seven days at €72 come to €432, which is the same as six days at the daily rate.

What the price includes and what is agreed at booking

The deposit, the insurance excess, any delivery fee and any discount are set out in the rental agreement, not on this page. Spanish consumer rules do require the advertised price to include every compulsory charge you cannot legally drive without, so the figure you see covers the cover you must carry.

We agree every Renault booking with a manager, which is where the delivery address, the dates and the class are settled. If your plans shift between a Clio and a Captur, that conversation is the moment to change it, not the morning of collection.

Electric Renault hire and the ZBE Rondes BCN

The Renault 5 E-Tech and its 0 emisiones badge

The Renault 5 E-Tech is a 5-seat electric hatchback at €38 a day, automatic, front-wheel drive, 120 hp, and it carries a 0 emisiones badge — the blue DGT sticker that gives unrestricted access to the ZBE Rondes BCN. It is the only automatic in the range under €72, which matters if you would rather not work a manual gearbox through the city's one-way streets.

Driving into the low-emission zone

• ZBE Rondes BCN: the Zona de Bajas Emisiones Rondas de Barcelona covers more than 95 km² — the whole municipality except the Zona Franca industrial area and the Vallvidrera – el Tibidabo i les Planes neighbourhood, plus L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Sant Adrià de Besòs and parts of Esplugues de Llobregat and Cornellà de Llobregat.
• When it applies: working days, Monday to Friday, during the hours set by the municipality; the Rondes themselves remain open to through traffic.

Getting your Renault delivered in Barcelona with our car rental

Rent-Trip brings the car to you rather than asking you to collect it from a depot. Where the hand-over happens is agreed with a manager when you book.

How delivery works

• Hand-over paperwork: the deposit, the insurance excess and any delivery fee sit in the rental agreement, not in a price list on this page.

Because the car comes to you, a Renault hire in this city fits an arrival day that already has enough moving parts — a flight, a bag drop, a first meal. We deliver, you drive.

Documents and driving rules for Renault car rental in Barcelona

Spain runs on the licence you already hold, provided it is valid and matches the car you are collecting.

Licence, ID and card at collection

• EU/EEA licence: fully valid in Spain until its expiry date, with no extra paperwork and no international permit required.
• Third-country licence: valid for driving here if it is in force and you are old enough for the equivalent category — after six months of taking up ordinary residence in Spain, exchange it.
• Non-Spanish wording: either carry an official certified translation into Spanish, or hold a licence issued on the Appendix 9 Geneva or Appendix 6 Vienna model.
• Permiso Internacional de Conducción: a supplementary document shown only together with your passport and national licence; it runs for one year.
• Passport or ID: the original in the main driver's name — companies ask for it, though the DGT sets no single rule.
• Bank card: which cards are accepted, and the deposit behind them, is set out in the rental agreement.

Speed limits and what a fine costs

Spanish limits are posted in kilometres per hour: 120 on the autopista and autovía, 90 on an ordinary rural road — the road owner may raise that to 100 — and 50 in town where there are two or more lanes in one direction. A single-platform street shared with pedestrians drops to 20, and a one-lane-each-way street to 30, which the municipality can lift to 50 by sign. On the Rondes B-10 and B-20, motorway-standard roads inside the built-up area, 80 is the general ceiling unless a sign says otherwise. Speeding penalties follow the DGT table: 100 EUR with no points, then 300 EUR and 2 points, 400 EUR and 4, 500 EUR and 6, up to 600 EUR and 6 as muy grave. Above 60 km/h over the limit in town, or 80 km/h outside it, the matter stops being administrative. Pay within 20 calendar days and the fine drops by 50%.

Alcohol, phones, seat belts and child seats

• Alcohol: 0.25 mg/l of breath is the general limit, 0.15 mg/l for drivers in their first two years and for professionals, and above 0.60 mg/l it is a criminal offence.
• Alcohol and drugs penalty: 500–1000 EUR and 4–6 points; any presence of drugs in the body is grounds for sanction on its own.
• Phone at the wheel: 200 EUR and 3–6 points — holding the handset in your hand costs the full 6.
• Seat belts, helmets and child seats: 200 EUR and 4 points; the driver answers for a child without a restraint.
• Child seats (SRI): compulsory for children under 135 cm in height; from 135 cm, and under twelve years old, the standard belt is allowed.
• Red lights and STOP signs: 200 EUR and 4 points; wrong-way or forbidden-lane driving runs 200–500 EUR and up to 6 points.

Parking is paid in the blue zones, AREA Blava A at 2.5 EUR an hour and AREA Blava B at 2.25 EUR an hour, so keep the comprovant d'estacionament with the registration number matching the car. If a fine arrives after you hand the car back, the DGT chases the owner or the renter for parking and unpaid tolls, but the person who was driving for moving, alcohol and drug offences.

Seats and space on a Renault car rental in Barcelona

Renault car rental in Barcelona from Rent-Trip covers 5, 7 and 9 seats, so the choice comes down to how many people travel and how much luggage goes with them.

Which Renault seats five, seven or nine

• Renault Clio: five seats in an Economy hatchback, Petrol/Hybrid, manual, 1.0 L and 90 hp, at €25 a day — the cheapest way to move a couple or a small family.
• Renault 5 E-Tech: five seats in an Electric hatchback, automatic, 120 hp, €38 a day, with a 0 emisiones badge for the ZBE Rondes BCN.
• Renault Captur: five seats in a Crossover, Petrol/Hybrid, manual, 1.0 L and 90 hp, €43 a day.
• Renault Espace: seven seats in a Hybrid MPV, automatic, 1.2 L and 200 hp, €72 a day.
• Renault Trafic: nine seats in a Diesel van, manual, 2.0 L and 150 hp, €90 a day.

Five seats, and where the difference shows

The Clio is a hatchback at €25 a day, the 5 E-Tech is an electric hatchback at €38, and the Captur is a Crossover at €43 with the same 1.0 L 90 hp Petrol/Hybrid engine and manual gearbox as the Clio.

Seven and nine seats, and the automatic question

The Espace is the only seven-seat option, a Hybrid MPV with an automatic gearbox and 200 hp, and the Trafic is the only nine-seater, a Diesel van with a manual and 150 hp. Both are automatics or manuals in a way that decides the booking: the Espace is automatic, the Trafic is not, so a driver who wants two pedals and seven seats has one choice on this page. Ask for the seat count you actually need when the booking is agreed — arriving with one more passenger than the car carries cannot be fixed at the kerb.

Child seats and the practical side

Child restraint rules in Spain are set by height, not age: an SRI is required for children below 135 cm, and from 135 cm a standard belt is allowed.

If your Renault car rental in Barcelona is not available

Spanish consumer rules give you a clear position here, and it is worth knowing it before you pick up the keys rather than after. If the model you booked is not there, you are entitled to another car at no extra cost — even one class above. If the replacement sits a class below what you agreed, the price has to come down to match. And if the car handed over does not match the conditions of the booking — an automatic instead of a manual, a five-seater instead of the seven-seat Espace you reserved — you can cancel and take your prepayment back.

What the rules say when the model is missing

• Same class or better, no surcharge: a replacement at the booked level or above costs you nothing extra, and the agreement stays as it was.
• A lower class means a lower price: if the only car available is a class below your Renault, the rate must be reduced to the level of what you actually drive away in.
• Conditions of the booking still count: gearbox, seat count and body type are part of what you agreed, not preferences the counter can swap at will.
• Cancellation with prepayment returned: if the car does not meet the agreed conditions, you may cancel the hire and recover what you paid in advance.
• Everything else is agreed when booking: the deposit, the insurance excess, any delivery fee and any discount sit in the rental agreement, so read those lines before you confirm anything.

How we handle it on our side

Our Renault car rental in Barcelona runs on five models in five classes, so a substitution is not always a like-for-like swap.

Every booking with Rent-Trip is agreed with a manager, and that conversation is the right place to settle what happens if your model is not ready. Ask which car you would get instead, and ask it in writing. Confirm your model early, and confirm the fallback at the same time.
